Close all starbucks! Who gives a shit?
Why are all these private businesses subzadized by the government? Get government out of private business!
I already refuse to go there bc their credit machines start with a tip. Shut them down.
I can't believe how so many people can drink that "coffee-icecream-sundae-diabetes slop every single day.
The worst cup of coffee with a strange cult following. Corporate coffee is gross. Tourists will take a $60.00 taxi ride just to buy a Starbucks collector cup in my town. They aren't going for the drink, they want the stupid cup. If you want a good cup of coffee in Juneau I say Flying Squirrel. They aren't unionized, but the barristas work there for years, drive nice cars, have families, and own homes... Because they sell a great product, and provide excellent customer service.
Seattle just elected a socialist mayor who has been getting monthly checks from her parents! At 44! 😅 She'll fix Seattle Starbucks I'm sure.
If there's ever a job that doesn't want the public to know how we'd do without them, it's a Starbucks employee... without someone directly telling me I'd never in a million years notice if they closed all of them
Haven't been to a Starbucks since 2019 and I am never going back honestly speaking. If I go to a cafe, it's usually a local one with no franchise.
